Nice one. Quite a good service. I hope 3g performance will not make a mess

To get enough internet to watch movies from a 3G sim card will cost a lot of money, probably more than actually buying the movie on a DVD. It will also be very slow depending on the service provider. But that really isn't a problem since you can use Wi-Fi.

Definitely MUCH better than watching it on the not less amazing back touch ...

Not really surprising, Netflix on a device is about as common as Angry Birds nowadays. You're gonna have to do better than that, Sony, but thanks *takes Netflix*.

I wish a dev would make a "fix" for the netflix to run on cfw. Though I do believe you need to be signed into the PSN to run it...
